ya,same here,i'm new to audio world and currently i have rm400 budget for a 2.1 speaker.
any nice recommendation?
i'm looking for Edifier C3,Klipsch GMX,and Altec MX5021 biggrin.gif

IMHO, go for s330 if you are more into music, go for mx5021 if you are more into gaming or movie.

in addition, if you are a 'basshead', never choose s330 without testing, you may lost your patience with it's subwoofer, err if you used to own an A.L. speaker, etc: vs4121, you might find that s330's is not working well laugh.gif laugh.gif

Hi there.

I need recommendations for a 2.1 system under RM300.

I listen to music (primary), watch films and do light gaming. I intend to plug my system to my laptop, which will be my desktop replacement.

Thanks in advance.
*
if you are more into music then you should consider Edifier, but rm300 sweat.gif it's a bit crucial for you, either m3300 for rm230+- or s330 for rm400..

logitech z4 suits your budget nicely but i don't think it will perform well at music as Edifier does, z4 is more on bass IMHO.

hey everyone,

looking for a 2.1 set of speakers that is easily available in europe, cos here v hard to get altec lansing and edifier stuff for example.
budget maybe 200 euros, which is RM1000.
or if u guys can gimme a website which is similar to lowyat.net, that'd be great too
cheers!
*
you may consider Edifier s730, but since edifier is hard for you to get, i have no idea sorry.

p/s: i suggest you to purchase online and postage to your area if you really cant find any that suits your demand, lol.

I think for RM400 in the market, there's no 5.1 speakers which owns in midrange & treble. Even S330 (2.1 speaker) is already priced at RM409. 

I fear, RM 250-400 range for 5.1 speakers would likely land you on some brands which is just loud but sacrifices on sound quality.  If that's all right with you, then by all means.

RM400 can get you a new 2.1 speakers that will produce good instrumental music. If you want 5.1, you'll need to put in more.

R501 for rm400+-

Just add another Rm10-20 and go for m3300, since you at Penang, i would suggest you to buy Edifier at Precess, Bukit Jambul.

I got mine from there too. Price was about the same at LYN.

M3300 is around RM230 if im not mistaken. btw i'm currently studying in pj, so that would not be a problem to go down to lowyat.
just wondering, i have a VS4121, a lot of times people compare these two model, the VS4121 and M3300, some say m3300, but never state the reasons, could anyone elaborate more?
*
Why people compares m3300 with vs4121?
Because they are in the same price range, rm200-rm240.

If compare m3300 with vs4121, m3300 is much more better than vs4121 in term of clarity, treble, and also quality (due to the AL's problem).
Why vs4121 still able to survive in the market with it's low clarity and low quality? IMO, it's because of it's bass, some user they don't really know how to choose a pair of good speaker, they go for strong bass instead of the clarity.

But to be honest, 1st patch of vs4121 really kicks ass!

FYI, you will be able to get a pair of m3300 with only rm220+-, it depends on how do you negotiate with them smile.gif btw, add another rm20+- you can get m3300sf which has better design than m3300.

Hi.. ive already asked this, but i suppose better to ask in thread..
basically a repost, cause i didnt get much suggestion that time.

hi.

am about to buy a 5.1 speaker system. am presently thinking of the logitech z-5500.
the problem is that it is somewhat an aging system, and the prices in malaysia seem a bit high compared to actual product price in the US, which has dropped quite a bit. maybe local retailers still hanging on to old stock? keke.

but its the only one ive seen which meets my requirements.

im planning to connect the speaker to my macbook, which would require an optical in port. other speaker systems do not have this port, and subsequently, are missing onboard sound processing. DTS, Dolby.... etc.

is there any suggestions on an alternative?

let me know if there is comparable sound to be had on a budget of rm 1500 - 2000. i'm open to a/v receiver / speaker combos as well.
ive found a yamaha setup for about 1700 at a big box store. with a receiver / speaker combo i have far better connectivity and upgrade options and am willing to spend a bit extra on such a system.
devices that would connect to the system includes, macbook, xbox360 and a ps3 soon.
any suggestions?

DO NOT RECOMMEND A 2.1 SYSTEM.
*
Why don't you consider s750 from edifier if you are not urgent? (FYI it's still not available in market)

The price will be about rm1500-rm1700. or s550?

Guys, need something to ask. I'm now looking for a new 2.1 speaker set. I've narrowed my search to Edifier M3300 and Klipsch Promedia GMX A2.1 due to their great reviews. So now the problem is the pricing range. Since That particular Klipsch model is costs about RM100+ more than the Edifier M3300, is it worth the money? Or should I stick to Edifier M3300? How does these two fair? Is it too different? Is the Klipsch performance out of this world compared to the M3300? Does it really have any big difference? Need advice from sifus here  hmm.gif
*
Why don't you just choose between s330 and gmx 2.1?? since they are in the same price range...

imho, m3300 will definitely lose to gmx2.1 in term of bass, clarity i have no idea rolleyes.gif perhaps you should audition it by yourself? see whether m3300's bass suits you or not.

My ATP3 rosak already, now looking for similar range speakers. After going through some posts, find that Edifier is getting good feedbacks, so i intend to get an Edifier.

I need it for movie, music and gaming (those online mmorpg). The types of music i normally listen to are soft rock, R&B, pop etc. Price range RM100 ~ 200.

How do you guys find the following models?
M1335/M1335F - RM109/RM129 (what's the difference with/without F?)
M2300 - RM189
M3200 - RM169
M3100SF - RM159 (what is this SF?)
MP210/MP230 - RM169/RM129

Thanks so much.

Better audition the Edifier before you buy, since you were AL ATP3 user before, Edifier's bass may not suit your demand..

thats y i suggest him a E3100. personally, i'd say, edifier only offer great bass with its speaker that has treble controller.
i.e. R401, C3, S530D, S730D, E3100. laugh.gif i dunno why, but seriously, those speakers with treble controller are good for me.
dont u agree? i shouldnt have bought myself a M3300 that time, no treble controller! laugh.gif

laugh.gif FYI i'm not kinda basshead, too much bass for music makes me headache, haha, different ppl has different taste, i just don't like too much bass, when i'm listening to music, i just turn my bass to half biggrin.gif biggrin.gif that's enough for me..

you can always try to listen to other M3400 see whether they're worse or not.
if your M3400 is worse than the other, in the stores, for example, then try claiming warranty.

60 and 75% is not so high. i guess maybe some defect. any bass boost or SRS TruBass you turned on?
i wish i could do that to my M3300. no matter what i do, TruBass, Bass-boost in x-fi and whatever, still cannot shake my room.
end up getting other speaker. but to superior edifier, say like S530D, little volume already can "shake" due to lower & better bass response.

lol how could you compare a monster with m3300.....

because if i compare it with a E3100 still E3100 wins, (in terms of sub only!) but to make it clearer, put S530D on low volume...

u kno wat i mean, each time i audition speaker, i walk away from the speaker 1-2metres, see whether it shakes me anot. E3100 sub capable of doing that.

tongue.gif tongue.gif That's why most m3300's user also admit that m3300's bass is damn weak, but i still love it wub.gif

Even you chosen the Rm450 one, you still have to get a sound card in order to let it performs it's best.

Err mind telling what are you more into?? i mean bass or clarity, if you feel that s730 & s530 is too much for you and you prefer better clarity than bass, you may get the s330 in rm400+-....
